Where's the other rope bag?

Where is it?

We lost it, when the cave collapsed.

Sorry.

Help me.

Come on, Becca.

- Aargh!

- You got it.

Come on, come on.

Come on, Rebecca.

Come on, Rebecca.

What are you waiting for?

- F***.

- Are you OK?

What's wrong?

It's nothing. I'm all right.

OK.

All right, more slack.

More slack, thanks.

F***!

F***, f***, f***.

- OK.

Well done.

OK.

Throw me the right rope.

OK.

OK.

Come on.

Yeah!

- Now, you make it look easy.

- Yeah, well, you make it look hard.

- Oh.

Don't look down, Beth. Keep going.

- Just keep going.

You're OK. You're safe.

Good. There you go.

Was this about me or you?

It's about us,

getting back to what we used to be.

I wanted us to claim this place, name it.

I thought maybe your name.

Or maybe yours.

You're doing well. Come on.

Come on.

There you are. Come on, give me your hand.

Juno?

We'll need everything we've got.

Haul it in.

F***.

Yes!

Reach.

Reach out.

Aargh!

Juno!

No!

Juno, it's OK, we've got you.

OK, pull!

Sam!

Holly, let me pass.

Rebecca, show me your hand.

Let go, let go.

- What does it mean?

- It means we're not the first.

It's a piton, right?

If cavers were here,

there's a better chance of us getting out.

This equipment is at least 100 years old.

No-one uses stuff like this any more.

Besides, if anyone had been down here

and made it out,

they would have named it already.

Becca, are you OK?

I'll live.

Holly, how does it look?

It's tight again, but I can get through.

OK, keep going. We'll be right behind you.

Hey, there's something down here.

Guys, it's amazing,

but the batteries on our lights will run out.

- So I suggest we keep moving.

- Wait a minute. Wait.

- What is it, Beth?

- Juno, light up one of your flares.

- We don't have time for this.

- Just light a flare.

- Really lovely, Beth, but it's f***ing useless.

- No, look at it. What do you see?

You've got the mountain, the cave...

and there's two entrances.

- You are a f***ing genius.

- I have my moments.

- This means there's another way out?

- Let's find out.

Come on!

- Bastard!

- Which way?

Holly, give me your lighter.

- Come on.

- Here.

F***!

- Come on! Come on!

- Sh*t!

- That one!

- Hey! Holly!

Holly, slow down!

Holly! Careful!

Daylight! I can see daylight!

Holly! Careful! Slow down!

Holly, it's not daylight!

- Help me!

- Hold on!

Guys! Hold...

Holly!

Sam! Get down here!

Holly!

Holly!

Holly! Answer me!

I think I hurt my leg!

Don't move! We're coming down to you.

Oh, f***!

No! F***!

Someone better get down here!

- Oh, that's f***ing disgusting.

- Beth! Not here, not now!

We need help. Everybody grab a corner.
